We at Trinity United Church in Edmonton are a
community of faith, seeking, by the love of God and in
relationship with others to help create a more just

congregation, seeking inclusion and participation by
all without regard to sexual orientation, or gender
expression. May we all know that all are welcome and
that we are not alone.

Communion is the first Sunday of each month. If you are joining us from home this

Singing is Good For You!
And singing with others may even be better. Who knew? Beth MacIntosh, our musical animator, of course!
There are many benefits to singing together including reduced stress hormones, an increased ability
to fight illness, lessened anxiety, stimulated memory and an increased lung capacity. 
If you are now inspired to sing together, the choir joyfully welcomes new members.
The first rehearsal will be Wednesday, Sept. 27

Making a Difference
An opportunity to take another step on the path of reconciliation: A request has come from Charlene Burns,
General Council Community Capacity Development Coordinator for the West, related to the Central Alberta
Spiritual Circle/Center and Interconnect Foundation (the new Indigenous community of faith being established in the
former Beverly United Church in Edmonton). Charlene wrote: "I am asking for contributions from friends far and
wide to purchase 100 orange shirts to use as a fundraiser for Interconnect and the Central Alberta Spiritual Circle.
They will have the logo for the Center on them and be sold for $30 each. We would like to order the t-shirts to have on
hand by the next Central Alberta Spiritual teaching Circle on Sept. 16th and for the National Day for Truth and
Reconciliation on Sept. 30th. *Financial contributions can be made by cash or cheque to Interconnect,
Red Deer Office, 4825-47 street #300, Red Deer T4N 1R3 or to Interconnect at 11910- 40 street NW
Edmonton T5W 2K9 with a note re Orange shirts.* This is also an official invitation to Interconnect
‘Orange Shirt Day’, Sept. 30th at 5439-47 Street Red Deer.

Soul Food
True religion is, at its core, nothing more or less than a call to live fully, to love
wastefully and to be all that we can be. That is finally where life’s meaning is
found. All else is background music.” ~Bishop John Shelby Spong
